Given that circumstances, should I retake the GMAT? What are my chances for these Top-B schools? What would be my potential weakness?
Thanks in advance!
p.s - I've studied GMAT for almost 4 month now, but I'm not that sure whether I could improve the score although I put more time in studying GMAT.
You have a strong profile. If you can boost the verbal GMAT score, it would help since these
programs are going to be worried about your communication skills on campus and during recruiting. The only challenge I foresee in your applications is differentiating yourself from the other
finance guys. To do that, you're going to have to demonstrate your insight on the deals you've been involved in, what you have contributed to them, and what unique experience you will be able to share with the class as a result.
